MGLASDS SEW HEER. An Infant That Hay Tct Succeed to the British Throne. . THE DUCHESS OP FIFE'S BABY Is the First Heir of Purely English Blood in Centuries, WHICH IS ESPECIALLY GEaTCFUNG CUT DUJCLAP'g CABLE COMPANT.J Loscdow, May IS. The birth of'tho daugh ter of Duke and Duchess of Fife has excited the very greatest national interest. Some degree of importance attached to the occa sion is shown by the fact that no less im portant a member of the Cabinet than the lit. Hon. Mr. Matthews, the Home Secretary, was present in his official capacity Ip order to be able to certify to the birth of the child. A point on which general comment lias been made since yesterday morning is that, as the Princes of Wales' two sons the Duke of Clarence and Prince George of Wales, are still unmarried, this infant is, after them and the Duchess of .Fife, the nearest heir to the British crown. The Duke of Clarence's health, it is well known, is poor, and Prince George, being a sailor, may at any time meet with one of those accidents for which the nary is so celebrated, and therefore the baby which was born yesterday may yet be Queen of England. The Times, in commenting this morning on the subject, says: "When we remember the train of circum stances which lead to the succession as heir presumptive of the Princess Charlotte and to the actual succession of her present Majesty, it is manifest that no great de parture from the ordinary course of things is involved in the supposition that the daughter of the Duke of Fife may one day reign over England. What the English especially like is that there is now anheir n ho has English blood in its veins and not German. The baby is the only pure English in the royal family, and this baby wlilliold a remarkable position, which has not been held by any legitimate grandchild of an English sovereign for hundred of years. Her rank, unless altered by the Queen, will be simply the daughter of a duke, and as such her title will be lady and nt princess." All the other papers have leaders with re gard to the importance of the birth of this child. SUFFOCATED BY LOCUSTS. Myriads of the Insects Fall Upon a Natur alist and Suffocate' Him. tBT DCXLAT'S CABLE COMPAXT.J Pakis, May 18. The details of the sad end of M. Ilunckel D. Herculals, the well-known French naturalist, have Just been received trom Algiers. It appears that the unfortu nate gentleman had been staying at the mis sion, Teniet-et-Xaad, and had gone to Donar Side Eralto collect eggs. Being overcome by the heat he fell asleep upon a pile of brushwood. During his slumber myriads of locusts fell upon, him When he awoke his bodv was cjmV '.telr covered. He was fortunately awakened by them be fore it was too late, and beat "down and killed thousands by firing the brushwood, making a minute of the fact in his note book, but his enemies proved too numerous for him. It is supposed that they finally suffocated him, as Ills skeleton was subse quently found under a heap of locusts, to gether with his beard, hair and cravat. ICE-BOUND ENGLAND. The KLu I i" Still Held in the Damaging Grasp of Winter. tBT DCNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY. Losdoic, May IS. Winte- still seems to linger in the lap of spring In manypar.3 of England. The hills about Monmouth were covered with snow this morning and much damage done to garden crops and fruits by severe frost. In Xorth and East Essex a hard frost has prevailed, and the ponds and streams me frozen and itisome places the ice is a quarter of an inch thick, whereby much damage i done to trio fruit and garden emu, especially to tne potato crop. The tens of thousands who went to the sea side Jor the Whitsun' holidays found only tempestuous winds icy rains and drifting fcleet. This very nneasonable weather has given a new impctrn to the still prevailing influenza and 10 per cent of the officers of the custom house are now absent from their posts by reason of the epidemic BBUTAL PRUSSIAN SOLDIERY. They Fire on a Crowd of Poor SHesians for Illegally Buying Flonr. tBT DUSLAP'S CABLE COMPANY. Berlin, May 18. A free trade organ states that the Prussian frontier guards fired into a croid of women and children near Neurode, 40 miles f rom Breslau, Silesia, who, having bought flour in Bohemia, where it is cheaper, were on their way home. It seems that Pruvsian law allows a certain amount of loroigu flour to be imported free: but tho guards suspected that more than the legal amount was being brought over the border, on account of its being wanted for use during the Whitsuntide holidays. This suspicion was strengthened by the notion of the w omen, w ho refused to allow the packages to be examined. The guards then, without making any further effort to settle tho matter bloodlessly, fired into tho crowd of returning purchasers, killing one girl and seriously w ounding two boys.

HOW HE MADE A GOLD DOIXAK SHOW THBEE TIMES ITS VALUE. r Baltimore History of the Man Who Is Sup posed to Have Swindled Many Prominent Englishmen The Way He Took in Sev eral Business Men. Baltimore, May IS. Edward Painter, alias "Shecney Al," who was arrested in London for attempting to swindle a Jeweler in that city by means of the "Philadelphia stone," through which ho claimed to increase the bulk of gold, is supposed to be the fellow who played the same gamo in Baltimore, swindling live well-to-do merchants out of $100,000. About five years ago a. man came to Balti more and engaged a suite of rooms in a boarding house on North Charles street. He called at the office of a real estato agent named Brigham and introduced himself as Mr. Gophart. He said that the agent had been recommended to him as a discreet and enterprising man, and he desired to secure his aid in developing a matter that would surely bring fortune to both of them, ne then unfolded his scheme of increasing the bulk of gold, and assured the agent that he did not wish him to invest a dollar until all doubt had been removed from his mind of tho ability of Gcphart to do all ho claimed. He invited the agent to call at his rooms on Charles street, when ho would substantiate his claim by practical tests. Tho agent ac companied him and gave Gcphart a gold dollar with which to make tho first experi ment. This dollar was placed in a small crucible, and a white powder was added by Gcphart. The two men took turns (nt a blowpipe, in creasing the heat in the crucible until the gold was melted and mixed with the chemi cal. It was then allowed to cool.after which Gcphart took it out and gave it to tho agent and told him to send it to the United States Mint to be assayed and recoincd. Tho mint officials returned a report showing three times the amount of gold that was put into the crucible. The same tests with larger amounts were continued nnd always with the same result. Tho result was that Brig ham was convinced of the value of Gcphart's secret and introduced Gepliart to several wealthy citizens with the view of enlisting them in the enterprise. The same tests were made before them and they too became con vinced of Gephart's ability to increase the bulk of gold. A stock company was formed, and the basement of, the house of one of the men in terested waB selected as the place of opera tion. This was fitted up with a furnace and iron vats about the size of an ordinary bath tub. One of the gold increasing company furnished about $50,000 in gold, nnd tho other four about $10,000 each. Thevwereto share proportionately in the profits. In the pres-J ence oi tne wnoie party uepuart apparently put all this gold into one of the vats and placed it on the fire. He then put in a Quantity of the powder and other chemicals. n doing this, however, he declined to per mit any of tho party to approach the vat, saying that the fumes of the chemicals would overpower anyone not prepared to resist them. A top was put on the vat, and at the suggestion of Gephart extra stiomj. locks were fastened on the vats. Tho same pre cautions were taken with the door of tho basement. The keys were given to the gen tleman in whose nouse the experiment was being tried. Gephart said that tho vats must notbe opened for three weeks. After remaining about the city for several days Gephart said ho was called to a distant city on business, but would return on the day appointed for taking out the gold. He did not come as nroinised. The real estate agent became suspicious and persuaded the party to make an investigation. They went to tho cellar and upon opening the vat found the gold had all disappeared, whils in its place was a lot of rocks and scrap iron. The me a were dumbfounded. Tho cellar had been entered surreptitiously and the gold removed. Why Not Get the best for your money.

Tan Houten Badly Injures His Ankle and Is Pronounced Incurable by Many Doctors Entirely Cured at the Electrical and Medical Institute. Wm. Van Houten is an intelligent Hol lander, living at No. 80 Worden street. A year ago last fall lie fell from a roof and sprained and badly smashed his right ankle. The Injury -was a very painful one at the time, but it was not thouirnt to be Terr seri ous. Time passed on and the sprain proved. very ooscinate, aeiying tne dcsc nieaicai skill in the city. Doctor after doctor was tried, but without avail. Resort was had to liniments and all the lotions known for treatment of this class of ailments, but they didnogood. Mr. Van Houteubecamevery de spondent arid concluded that hemustremain a cripple for life. Being a poor man having a large family he felt compelled to work, in consequence of whici ho passed night after night of the most excruciating agony. Doing such work as unloading carloads of wood, he was compelled to drag his injured foot after him, there not being strength in his ankle to support his weight. Last January his friendB began to advise him to go to the Electrical and Medical Institute, whom they had heard had made some wonderful cures. Mr. Van Houten was skeptical and thought that all had been done for him that was pos sible, but on January 5, 1891, yielding to the iroportunities of his friends, he went to tho Institute 'on Ionia street and began a course of electrical treatment. From the moment he began dates his iniprovement.andyester day, In an Interview with an Eagle repre sentative, Mr. Van Houten stated that his ankle was neirly wellj that he suffered no more pain, and that they had done wonders for him. Mr. Van Houten told the above story to the Eagle man with a sincere air that was convincing, and its truth cannot be doubted. Ho is naturally very grateful and urges all sufferers to consult with them. Mr. Van Houten can be found at the citv wood ya ta: ara, near tne jau, wnere no can De seen ana ukcu to. urana itapms Jbngio.
